Travel tips
What to know before you go.
Short-hop coach services on this corridor run frequently enough that walk-on fares are usually available, but Friday afternoon and Sunday evening departures fill faster than other times. Arrive at the terminal at least 15 minutes before departure. Most operators begin boarding 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time and won't hold the coach for late passengers. Check the operator's luggage policy before you travel. Most include one checked bag (20 kg) and one carry-on, but allowances vary by carrier and additional bags usually attract a fee.
